Vanity Is Not A Sin Review:

I was extremely excited when I found these Australis Highlighting and Contouring Duos, I could barely contain my excitement. I purchased the Sun kissed Glimmer and Rosy Bronze. They were on sale for $3 each they normally retail for around $12.95. So I was also excited about the savings too as savings means, more money to spend on more products lol.

The duos come in adorable little black compacts with the Australis name written on it, when one opens the compact, inside you will find two compartments.

In the first compartment is a little brush which I am sure is made out of synthetic hair. When you flip that over in the seconded compartment is where you will find the products and a mirror. On the left side of the compact is the bronzer/contour powder and on the right is the blush/highlighter, just using your brush swirl it over the two products and when applying to your cheek bones make sure the bronzer/contour is down and the highlighter/blush is side up.

Fairer girls like myself tho do have to be careful when applying the bronzer/contour when I was applying it, it was just a little to dark for my skin tone so less is more with the bronzer/contour if you are fair but if you do find that it is a little to dark for your skin tone or you have applied to much product just simply get a big fluffy brush and blend it out a bit more. You can also apply some of the product underneath and just along your jaw to archive that defined jaw line.

The Sun kissed Glimmer duo can also be used as an eyeshadow with the highlighter applied to the eyelid and eyebrow areas and the bronzer applied to the crease, so it is one little compact but it can be used for a lot.

These duo compact do not have a scent to them and they have a really good staying power, They are a good size to pop into your handbag to use through out the day for a quick and easy freshen up after lunch, one thing I wish they did have tho is the name of the product on the bottom of the compact so you know what shade you are using but for those easily confused i.e myself just keep them in the cute little box they came in to remember their shades, they are perfect for summer to get that bronzed sun kissed look, like you have been on holidays to St Topaz.
